Father and Daughter Both Shocked, Live-Streaming the Drug Trial

Jian Lianyun stared blankly at the Phase II clinical data that had been sent over.

The data was even better than she had imagined.

After all, she had only seen Wei Kang's case before. Though she knew the effects were astonishing, there had only been one case, so it had not fully sunk in.

It was nowhere near as shocking as this series of professional data reports before her.

Such remarkable efficacy, coupled with the absence of adverse side effects—especially the latter—was extraordinarily rare.

Cancer treatment required patients to take large amounts of chemical drugs, commonly known as chemotherapy. These drugs killed Cancer Cells through various mechanisms, but in the process, countless healthy human cells were indiscriminately destroyed as well.

This caused chemotherapy patients' bodily functions to decline. They could even suffer organ failure, while the chances of cancer metastasis and recurrence also rose, greatly shortening survival time.

This was an unavoidable harm of chemotherapy and had always been a worldwide problem. Even many targeted drugs or immunotherapy drugs came with more or less severe side effects.

And now, an anti-cancer drug with no side effects at all had appeared before her.

She understood deeply how important this was. Once it was released, the entire world would be shocked.

How could it not make her breathing quicken, her chest rise and fall, as if she were in a dream?

As a doctor, she wanted this achievement to be rolled out as soon as possible. Ideally, every cancer patient could take it immediately and escape their suffering sooner.

Then... should she take things one step further?

After hesitating for a long time, she finally dialed that number.

"Dad, long time no see. Are you busy over there?"

A deep, authoritative elderly voice came through the phone.

He sounded very pleased, though there was a trace of fatigue in his voice.

"Yunyun, why did you suddenly think to call your dad? Have you been well lately? Is work keeping you busy? Take care of yourself, and come home when you have time."

"Okay. Here's the thing: I found a new drug. You could say it's a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug. Its effects are excellent, and most importantly, it has no side effects. I think you must need it over there."

The old man chuckled. "Yunyun, why are you suddenly in the mood to joke around? We both studied medicine. You know that every drug is toxic to some extent, right? How could there be some miracle drug in this world with no toxic side effects? If there were, it would be a scam. I bet some pharmaceutical company approached you to sell their new drug."

Jian Lianyun was immediately rendered speechless. It was indeed a pharmaceutical company's new drug, but they had not come to pitch it to her—she had gone looking for them.

"Honestly, you're just too trusting. Believe in science and facts. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Listening to her father lecture her made Jian Lianyun's head ache, so she hurriedly interrupted him.

"I'm really not making this up. I have the complete Phase II clinical trial data here. I just sent it to your email. Open it and take a look. Seeing is believing."

After a while, a startled cry suddenly came from the other end of the call, followed by a fit of coughing.

"Th-This pharmaceutical company didn't falsify the data, did they? How could there be such a perfect drug?"

The corners of Jian Lianyun's lips lifted as she smiled and explained, "Dad, it's a legitimate company with GMP certification from the national Drug Administration Bureau. How could they fake it? One of my friends took this medicine, and his condition improved very quickly. I even have his case file here."

Once she started, she seemed unable to stop. "This friend is incredible. His company developed this new drug, and he even tested it on himself. I personally performed his follow-up examination, and it really works. Otherwise, how could I dare tell you about it?"

"This drug is about to enter Phase III clinical trials. If you still don't believe me, I'll send you the results from the hospital patients' drug trials later."

The person on the other end seemed to have recovered, but his voice was still full of doubt.

"It's not that Dad doesn't believe you. It's just... you know this is a major matter. Dad is also looking everywhere for effective and suitable drugs right now. But the patient I have is very special, and there are many more factors to consider."

"I know. I just wanted to tell you the good news. Anyway, wait and see the follow-up trial results. If, after so many patients take it in Phase III, the side effects are still minimal, then this drug would be very suitable for your important patient. It deserves a chance."

"Fine, it's a deal. I'll wait for your Phase III trial data." The old man also seemed quite pleased and readily agreed. "Sure enough, only my good daughter is always thinking of me. Hahaha."

But he immediately switched to a topic that gave Jian Lianyun an enormous headache. "By the way, what's the situation with that friend of yours? Which company's head of research is he? He's a man, right? He sounds quite outstanding. Shouldn't you spend more time with him?"

Jian Lianyun's expression instantly fell, and her voice rose at the same time. "Dad, I've only known him for two days. We'll talk next time. Bye!"

She hung up without giving him a chance to respond, rolled her eyes, and her good mood vanished in an instant.

She came from a family of doctors. Her father was a leading figure in Sea City's Oncology Department. He was simply a little too strict with his daughter and often urged her to get married, which was why Jian Lianyun would rather die than stay near her parents. She insisted on working at a hospital in the neighboring city and usually avoided contacting them whenever possible.

It had also been over half a month since father and daughter had last spoken. She had finally worked up the courage to call and recommend the new drug, yet as expected, she still could not escape the demonic sound of being pressured to marry.

Jian Lianyun let out a long breath, casually opened a WeChat group with a hundred members, and sent a message.

"The New Anti-Cancer Drug mentioned last time is entering Phase III clinical trials and needs volunteers for drug testing. It's free, effective, and applications are first come, first served."

After sending the message, she set her phone aside, got up, and called several colleagues to make rounds in the Oncology Department's inpatient ward. She planned to select a few late-stage cancer patients and discuss the drug trial with them.

Meanwhile, in the WeChat group called "New Anti-Cancer Drug Volunteers."

It exploded instantly.

Messages began scrolling rapidly.

Very soon, there were over a hundred messages.

"I'm signing up! If Dr. Jian says it's good, it must be good!"

"Signing up +1"

"Signing up +1"

Cao Jinmei, female, twenty years old, late-stage lymphoma patient.

She had been receiving treatment at the city's First People's Hospital for some time. Since her illness had already been discovered at a late stage, surgery had not been very effective, and she was now undergoing follow-up chemotherapy.

Lymphoma came in many forms. She had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a highly typical malignant lymphoma. It had already progressed to a late stage and begun spreading to her bones. She did not have much time left.

She was still very young. For her, life had only just begun, and a long, wonderful future should have still been waiting for her.

Yet the demon called cancer was about to take her away.

A flower had only just begun to bloom, yet it was about to wither at once.

This girl was deeply attached to life. Faced with the countdown to her death, she could not bear to let go.

So she decided to become a livestreaming content creator and record her treatment process from beginning to end.

That way, she could preserve the final stretch of her life for her parents and prove that she had once been here.

Her livestream had begun after her cancer diagnosis. She gradually filmed everything from after her surgery up to her current chemotherapy stage.

Every little part of the process, every beautiful thing in life, was shared online.

The viewers of her streams grew from none to more and more. Everyone was moved by her love for life.

Over the past year or so, netizens would come by whenever they had time, greet her, and chat about everyday matters.

If they had troubles on their minds, Cao Jinmei would patiently comfort and counsel them.

The viewers were quickly touched by her optimism and warmth, and one after another, they regained their confidence in and love for life.

Her fanbase continued to grow, and she already had a million followers on Kuaibo.

That made her a major internet celebrity on Kuaibo.

Today, Cao Jinmei sat before her computer and opened her livestream room again.

As usual, she removed the hat from her head, revealing her smooth, bald scalp.

But unlike usual, her face was overflowing with a smile.

Her fans had watched her change from a beautiful young girl with a full head of hair into a sallow, emaciated bald woman. They had long grown used to the sight.

Her loyal fans quickly came over to greet her.

"Hi, Jinmei. You started streaming so early today."

"Jinmei, are you back from the hospital? Did you see any handsome doctors today?"

Cao Jinmei did not look at those fan comments, nor did she greet her fans.

She looked into the camera before her and grinned happily.

Her smile filled the screen, as though it would drown the entire livestream room.

After a while, two streams of cloudy tears slowly slid from the corners of her eyes.

Yet she kept smiling as she spoke softly.

"Everyone, I signed up for a drug trial today."

"It's a newly released special-effect medicine. They say the results are especially good."

"It's true. I believe the doctors."

"Next, I'll livestream the entire drug trial process."
